Harley Davidson??  Wow.  This is unbelievable.  **nononono*  Actually I've always preferred the looks of the Indian motorcycle, but Harley going woke?  Just so wrong.  We're done buying bikes and riding, but I'd never want another Harley.  Indian would definitely be my choice.

Harley-Davidson faces 'woke' accusations from Sturgis bikers: 'Breaks my heart'

Harley-Davidson is facing biker backlash over fears that the American motorcycle manufacturer born with the renegade image is now identifying as woke.

"@harleydavidson has been one of the most beloved brands in America but recently on CEO Jochen Zeitz’s watch, they’ve gone totally woke," filmmaker Robby Starbuck shared with his more than 528,000 followers on X in late July.

The bike brand's apparent decision to volunteer for the culture wars in America has been a high-octane topic at the 84th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota this week, according to both attendees and numerous social media postings.

"It’s branding suicide," Vinny Terranova, the owner of Pappy’s Vintage Cycles in Sturgis, South Dakota, told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

"A lot of bikers are switching over to Indian," he said. "They killed Harley. It breaks my heart."

Harley-Davidson motorcycles have faced a sharp decline in perceived value among bikers since his arrival, said Terranova, who ran a Harley-Davidson dealership in Colorado for over 40 years.

"A Harley valued at $30,000 just a few years ago is now getting only $4,000," said Terranova.

"People don’t even want to be associated with Harley anymore," he added, expressing his opinion............

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

IMO, Harley Davidson has to be given some slack here because of the lesbian demographic's affinity toward motorcycles.  At least to a certain degree.   :shrug:

Indian is a better bike anyway....

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
